About Katie Hunter

Katie Hunter is an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) based in Florida with 13 years of experience helping people navigate anxiety, grief, trauma, addiction, and significant life changes. She focuses on the emotional toll of chronic and terminal illness, the stress faced by caregivers, and the relational strain that can occur when a partner struggles with alcohol use. Her practice also addresses concerns such as anger, self-esteem, career challenges, ADHD, and coping with loss and transitions.

She brings a compassionate, person-centered stance to her work and draws on a range of evidence-informed methods including client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), solution-focused techniques, and trauma-focused therapy to tailor care to each person’s situation. Katie emphasizes practical skills for managing stress and anxiety while also creating space to process grief, resentment, guilt, and the confusion that often accompanies major health or relationship changes.

Katie believes that even when life has left someone feeling broken, healing and growth remain possible. That guiding image informs her therapeutic approach - honoring where people are while helping them uncover resilience, rebuild a sense of self, and find ways forward through difficult circumstances.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person rather than the problem, offering empathy, active listening, and acceptance to help individuals explore their feelings and build self-understanding. It is useful for people coping with grief, caregiving stress, and identity shifts during illness or life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical strategies and skill building. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and coping with the emotional fallout of chronic health conditions.

Trauma-focused therapy addresses the effects of past traumatic experiences by helping clients process memories, reduce symptoms, and develop coping tools tailored to trauma-related responses. It supports recovery from abuse, post-traumatic stress, and other trauma-related difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Katie works collaboratively with each person and with other licensed professionals when appropriate to determine which methods best match the client's needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility and access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and access support from home or while traveling, all while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor treatment to individual circumstances.
